who makes what?

I used to work in the Rainier Brewery in Seattle. We made Rainier , Mickeys, Strohs , Black Label, Henry Weinhards private reserve , Schmidt and a hundred or so other labels before the plant was shut down and all the brands moved to Olympia to what is now the Miller plant where they now make a few hundred different beers.

My question is about who makes what in the automotive world and where? I know "Weber" makes Edelbrock carburetors. Weber just being a division of another Italian Manufacturer. Where are they actually made? I know comp cams owns crane. Who makes the cams though and where? Iv'e read Iskendarian is the worlds largest cam manufacturer but who do they make cams for... OEM or is it everyone else ? You sure dont see many "Isky" brand cams any more but they have to be manufacturing them under contract for someone.

Another example. I run world product heads on my 68. Who makes them ? Their website is vague about where they are manufacturered and I know they do R&D in Michigan or someplace like that but I get the feeling they are actually built in Argentina and thet Dart and Top Proline and possibly others are built in the same factory. Maybe even every decent cast iron head you can think of.



Anyone know anything?
